ELMS arrives and some farms sign up to it in desperation.
You are tied into a one sided legal document where the rules can be changed by Defra/Gov.
The Gov then say any farmers in ELMS cannot trade carbon because the ELMS agreement won’t allow you. Basically you’ve entered into a contract where by you give your carbon credits to the Gov in return for the ELMS money.
The Gov then trade your carbon on the world market so they can shout out loud that the U.K. is carbon neutral, whilst the food we eat is imported and the import trail carbon issue is the suppliers problem I.e. another countries problem.
Convince me I’m wrong …………
